In and out for a few hours - friendly ground services.

Current NOTAM (as of 21-Sep-2011) AD CLSD NGT - looks like airstrip is open again. Will be visiting in next few weeks for lunch and post review.

Lodge is opening for business. Airstrip, however is still closed and they were not sure if it would re-open. Flew over on 29-Jun-2011, one aircraft on taxiway indicated field was closed (wondered why they were down there but didn't ask).

Very helpful for the first time visit

So where *do* you hope people crash?

I hope that no once crashes here

Awesome experience for a day trip into MSN.

Wisconsin Aviation had me park the Cherokee right up in front next the bus. jets -

Courtesy car available and clean.

Another SE Wisconsin trip worth the visit. The resort is upscale and boasts a great lunch.

Town of Lake Geneva is a few minutes away and offers shops, water activities, beach. Just a great place to loaf a day away.

As the former Playboy club property from 1968 till 1983, there is an occasional re-union - how do I know? I just happened to take the father-in-law in for a flight.

A great place just to go for lunch.

Took the family for a day outing to play around the lodge.

Lodge and Airstrip closed in late 2010. I hear the lodge may re-open in 2011. Don't know about the airstrip.

Flew into 3D2 for a day trip - lunch, sites.

Friendly Staff. Local business will ferry you between Airport and town or take the bicycles.

Like RWY 11, Rgt. Traffic, 2700".

Watch for feathered flying friends on approach.

Winnebago County could care less about this airport, there is no promotion what so ever, meanwhile Outagamie and Austin Straubel have first class facilities...What a waste of taxpayers money..

Fields at Galoshkosh 2010 were pretty wet last Sat Jul 24 so forced to stay at Stevens Point. Airport staff and management were wonderful. Fuel was reasonably priced and every effort was made to accomodate the numerous semi-stranded EAA 2010 visitors. Great place to stop!

The FAA uses '43WI' for Eagle Ridge Ultralight Flightpark, Colfax, WI

Was planning to head to southern Illinois, but fog prevented that from occurring. Instead, headed up to Janesville to get some brunch. The onsite restaurant has tasty food and exceptional service. They mention their 'homemade toast' a bunch of times on the menu. We had a laugh about it. Then it showed up. And, you know what, it was actually worth mentioning. Homemade bread, sliced thick and toasted.

Reply to @rw2: Have now done the breakfast at Picadilly Lilly. I can recommend the biscuits and gravy. They have lots of sausage in their gravy. A half order is plenty of food.

Reply to @paulie: Yup, food is good there. Sat mornings folks from around Wisc fly in for breakfast. I haven't made that particular trip there, but I here that 10-15 planes will show up on a busy morning.

The terrain is quite pretty as the Wisc river has been a protected waterway for ages and very little development was ever permitted along it.

Can be slightly difficult to find. VOR or GPS will be your friend to get you close unless you stay pretty high so you can see down into the river valley to spot it.

Log building as terminal - nicely built and maintained

Small well run airport. Be sure to talk to Bill Amorde in the FBO. Bill is a local legend in flying and has FAA ratings as long as your arm. The guy has done it all, Planes, Balloons, Gliders, Helicopters !!!

I spent a couple of landings at Murmuring springs during my Biannual Review near Necedah Wisconsin; it's worth going again.

Best landing wishes Andreas Krug, Private Pilot, Lufthansa Engineering, Frankfurt, Germany

Excellent! Thanks for fixing it.

Done. Thanks, I didn't realize I could edit it.

Thanks for pointing out the problem. I can't quite find the right location on the map -- since you're a registered user, please feel free to click the "Edit" tab, then move the marker to the right place.

The location of the marker for Rosenbaum Field is incorrect. It should be south and west of its current location. Zoom the map and you will see the row of hangars.

Not in the latest FAA data.

This airport, immediately adjacent to Wittman Regional (OSH), operates together with the AirVenture Museum at OshKosh. It is a grass strip with over 50 airplanes in period hangars, and includes a playground and rides in vintage aircraft. An AirVenture Museum ticket is required to visit the field, and a tram travels to the field from the museum:

I enjoyed flying in for breakfast.

The Oshkosh Pioneer Airport has enough snow on the ground to host the fly-in on 26 January. More information is available at the Air Venture Museum site:

Awesome grassroots airport. Lunch every Friday, sometimes drawing over 50 aircraft!

The Dulmes Family has sold this property. The new owner does not have aviation interests. I do not know if the runway is useable.

This airport is normally quiet, but for a week every summer it hosts the annual EAA AirVenture Fly-in (often referred to as "Oshkosh"), and briefly becomes the world's busiest airport by aircraft movements. The fly-in this year is next week, starting on July 23. Here's the web site:

I grew up around this airport, so it holds a special place in my heart. These days, its a nice little airport with a nice long runway. I hear the cafe is quite good for a home cooked meal.

This is the FBO I train out of. Great facility, and great instructors. Highly recommend the restaurant located inside as well.

Nice farm strip. Drop in to watch the Sky Ranch Flyers fly R/C. If one of the Hahns is around, you might get a golf-cart tour of the few gopher holes on the field.

There's a pretty good dropoff (for the midwest) at the end of 03. With the trees there, the winds can get squirrelly while on final to 21. Not a bad idea to land just a little long on 21.

The turf runway is underused, but decent.
